SMALL-BATCH SPIRITS · GIN · VODKA · RAKI

Meet the Turk. Reis.

He does more than just pass through life. He lives it. To the full.

He drinks slowly. He drinks well. He gets it from Dapper. Why? Because nothing else comes close.

If you know, you know. Do you?

OUR SPIRITS
Three Spirits. Distinct Personalities. One impeccable upbringing.
  • Çelebi Gin

    The Gentleman · Bright · Botanical

    Çelebi speaks fluent juniper with a light Australian accent. Assertive in a Martini, charming in a G&T. Never caught underdressed.

  • Reis Raki

    The Chief · Anise · Ritual

    Reis is the one your grandfather approved of. Aniseed, tradition, and a rare talent for turning water cloudy — and evenings long.

  • Ağa Vodka

    The Host · Clean · Smooth

    Ağa says very little and keeps every glass full. Distilled slow, cut clean — smooth enough to make silence a virtue.

  • Made in Melbourne

  • Small-Batch Distilled

  • Vegan Friendly

  • Gluten Free

  • No Additives

What our customers say

  • ★★★★★
    “Bright, beautifully balanced and full of character. Çelebi Gin leads with crisp juniper and fresh botanicals, finishing smooth and clean. It makes an exceptional G&T and brings real elegance to a classic martini.”
    Marco Rosano
  • ★★★★★
    “Distinctive, smooth and beautifully traditional. Reis Raki opens with rich aniseed character, softens elegantly with chilled water and finishes clean."
    Can Erkan
  • ★★★★★
    “Quietly impressive. Ağa Vodka is exceptionally clean and smooth, with a soft finish and none of the harsh burn. It’s elegant enough to enjoy neat and versatile enough for a crisp martini—an easy favourite for the home bar.”
    Senem Karaca
It's pronounced rah-kuh, and it's been expecting you.
Meet The Raki
  • Raki has presided over Turkish tables for five hundred years. It has settled arguments, started better ones, and never once been rushed. Add water and it blooms cloudy white — the Turks call it aslan sütü. Lion's milk.
  • Grapes, distilled twice, the second time over aniseed. That's the whole recipe. It has resisted improvement for centuries, mostly because nobody at the table has ever finished the sentence "you know what would make this better."
  • "Raki isn't drunk to get somewhere. It's drunk to stay a while." — Reis
  • The cloud is chemistry, but nobody at the table cares. Anise oil dissolves in spirit, not in water — add one to the other and a thousand tiny droplets catch the light. The Ottomans didn't have the word "emulsion." They had "miracle," which is close enough.
  • Reis drinks it slowly, with food, among friends. He suggests you do the same. Now distilled the traditional way, half a world from home — the raki has emigrated, and it's doing very well.
  • There are rules. You never fill your own glass — someone at the table does it for you, and you return the favour. The toast is şerefe: not "cheers," but "to honour." A raki table without conversation is considered a technical failure.
Our Story

We take our craft seriously, but not ourselves.

Dapper began with a simple observation: the spirits we grew up around deserved better than life as a duty-free souvenir. So we built a still in the suburbs and made them properly — traditional methods, serious botanicals, zero tolerance for shortcuts. The rest is a story best told over a pour.

Our recipes

  • Çelebi G&T

    Çelebi G&T

    A gin and tonic is a simple thing. That's the point. Good gin, cold tonic, plenty of ice, and one small decision that changes everything: a ribbon of orange instead of the usual lime.

  • Ağa Vişne Vodka

    Ağa Vişne Vodka

    Every Turkish fridge has a bottle of vişne suyu in it. Sour cherry juice — dark, tart, a little sweet, the thing your aunty poured you when you were too young for anything else. We've simply promoted it.

  • Reis Raki — Aslan Sütü

    Reis Raki — Aslan Sütü

    Aslan sütü. Lion's milk. That's what raki becomes the moment water hits it — clear one second, cloudy-white the next — and it's the only cocktail on this list that makes itself.
